ATTENTION: PRO SE DEBTORS AND OTHER UNREPRESENTED PARTIES

During the course of a bankruptcy case or proceeding, bankruptcy court notices are mailed by the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) on behalf of the court. The BNC, which is operated by a private contractor, provides notice production and mailing services for the court, but THE BNC IS NOT THE COURT.

DO NOT SEND DOCUMENTS TO THE BNC

Documents related to a bankruptcy case or proceeding should be sent directly to the court.

Credit Couseling and Debtor Education

The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 requires that individuals who plan to file for bankruptcy protection must receive credit counseling from a government approved organization within six months before they file. Individuals must also complete a debtor education course to have their debts discharged. The Department of Justice's U.S. Trustee Program approves organizations who can provide the mandatory credit counseling and debtor education.
